About Company

Beekeeping projects involve the cultivation of bee colonies for honey production, pollination services, and related products like beeswax and royal jelly. Common challenges include hive pests and diseases, such as Varroa mites and American foulbrood, which can devastate colonies. Environmental factors like habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change also threaten bee populations and honey production. Additionally, beekeepers may face difficulties in marketing their products, obtaining suitable locations for hive placement, and managing the logistics of hive maintenance. Despite these challenges, beekeeping projects contribute significantly to agriculture and ecosystem health by supporting pollination and biodiversity conservation efforts.
